Chicken Shawarma with the touch of Sweet Hungarian ..

Did you know Shawarma is called a meat preparation in Arabic, and the bread used is called Taboon bread. Shawarma also refers to rolled sandwiches and wraps. Shawarma is made by alternately stacking strips of seasoned flat meat (beef, lamb or marinated chicken) on a stick. An onion, a tomato, or a halved lemon is sometimes placed at the top of the stack for additional flavoring. The meat is roasted slowly on all sides as the spit rotates in front of, or over, a flame for hours(Information taken from Shawarma).

First I saw meet roasted this way in India, and two to three months before in a small restaurant at Majeedee magu near artificial beach. Shawarma wraps are getting very popular now a days. Why not try this delicious Sahwarma recipe at home.

I know I know some of my recipes have such a big ingredient list, let me tell you if you want yummy foods must add all needed ingredients to get that perfect taste. Just buy one bottle each and it can be used so many times, always check the expiry date because some shops sells goods which will have one or less month expiry. This happened to me, I bought some highly expensive spice & dried herb bottles without checking expiry date the bottles expiry were due to end of that month. What a waste.
